Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

Getting new dentures can be challenging. Soreness and difficulty eating are normal as you adjust to a different bite and fit. In those first couple of weeks choosing softer foods can help you get through this initial stage. Luckily there’s still a chill in the air so warming soups and delicious hot pots are the go! 🍲 If soreness persists don’t hesitate to come and see us 😊

Leaving aside smoking which is an obvious crime against white teeth, some of our favourite foods and drinks also contain tannins and acids that can lead to tooth discolouration. Some of the worst offenders are: Coffee, red wine, tea and turmeric. But fear not if you love all those things - daily cleaning, and regular deep cleaning by us, will keep your teeth looking fabulous Photo by Nathan Dumlao on Unsplash

clbebvtfg000c08ld53st8yih Chewing gum and dentures don't mix

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

Do you like chewing gum? Unfortunately, if you wear dentures chewing gum is not a good idea. Not only does the gum pull at the denture teeth and dislodge the denture base (always embarrassing when your denture drops down!) but the sticky residue coats the acrylic surface staining it and affecting the fit. So if you’re looking for a nice mouth refresh try soft peppermints instead

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

A big topic at our conference last week was the importance of informed consent. We take informed consent seriously which is why we offer no cost no obligation initial consultations. We take the time to fully explain all your denture design options, the process and what to expect when your denture is finished. All our quotes are fully inclusive, and we ensure that you are aware of any future maintenance costs We actively encouraged your involvement in the overall process of having a denture made so please ask us as many questions as you need to. We love answering them!

cl6yeuv7i000q09l9dtvk667r Seesaws are fun – but not in your mouth 😉

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

Humans can generate up 70kg of bite force and it is vital to spread this bite force evenly so chewing is effective and efficient. This is particularly important when wearing a denture or you risk turning your denture into a seesaw – not ideal Seesaw biting can prematurely wear out teeth, cause discomfort, lead to TMJ dysfunction and even painful gum ulcers. Your bite can change over time so regular check ups of your denture are essential to ensure you are using them as they were designed to be used. And don’t forget all our check ups are complimentary and no obligation so why delay?

cl6d07cw5000a09mw6x9986v6 Follow up rehabilitation is essential for a successful denture

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

Teeth are a contradiction. While incredibly hard and strong they are also vulnerable to damage and susceptible to microbial attack Unfortunately, teeth do not regenerate (which is perhaps fortunate for the dental industry :P) Luckily prosthetic replacements can be used to restore appearance and function. Cue the denture! Dentures are a prosthetic, just like a prosthetic leg or hand. Rehabilitation is key to successfully adapting to a prosthesis and dentures are no exception. Which is why we do not charge any extra for these vital appointments. Call us to find out more

cl62wkmas000j09kz26xy9y7m Should you sleep with your dentures in?

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

Sleeping is one of life's great pleasures But sleeping with your dentures in? Don’t do it! Whether you wear full or partial dentures, taking them out overnight is important to give the gums and other denture-bearing tissues a chance to rest, recover and receive beneficial exposure to the antibacterial agents naturally present in saliva. So to promote good oral health and ensure you have years of successful denture wear, take your dentures out at night and stick to a good daily oral hygiene routine. Looking good for any surprise midnight visitors just isn’t worth it

cl3kxojkf003109l00r7pglf8 Cleaning your dentures - be gentle please

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

Like natural teeth dentures can also get stained from the good things in life. Red wine, coffee and tea are the main culprits, but staining can occur over time just from everyday use. It can be tempting to apply some elbow grease to remove unsightly discolouration – to this we say STOP! Using abrasive toothpaste and harsh brushes puts micro abrasions on the denture teeth surface and actually makes staining worse. Denture specific cleaning products and soft brushes are best and if more TLC is needed see us for a professional clean

You may think about caring for your teeth and gums but what about their less glamorous buddy – the tongue? A healthy tongue is integral to oral function and overall health and wellbeing as well as wearing dentures successfully If you have noticed any of the following on your tongue, then seek professional advice: Overly red: Sore or sensitive : White patches: Scaly/hairy appearance: Red bumps. So don't ignore your tongue health - tongues may not be as pretty as your teeth but they matter!

cl1oc74yq000n09mic99nhm2e What exactly is a Dental Prosthetist?

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

The short answer is that a dental prosthetist makes all types of removable dental prostheses, including sports mouthguards. But so do dentists I hear you say. But here is the big difference....... Dentures make up a very small part of a dentist's caseload whereas dental prosthetists are expert denture health professionals as it is literally all they do! We do everything in house guaranteeing a cost effective, high quality result. So be bold and inform your dentist that you want to have your dentures made directly by a dental prosthestist.

cl1494gnh000i09lc24h6eks3 Temporary dentures? Not really a thing

Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

Dentists often refer people to us to have a ‘temporary’ denture made so they are not missing teeth while waiting for dental work. Unfortunately, the term ‘temporary denture’ is easily misunderstood as it gives the impression that this a denture that can be made very cheaply which is definitely not the case . Hence the shocked responses when we give quotes! It is far more accurate to describe this situation as needing a denture that will be worn temporarily. All dentures are made to the same high quality regardless and should be for the sake of your oral health. Call us for more information
